Schoolkids Records officially closes Chapel Hill location after 50 years


On November 30, the Chapel Hill community was forced to say its final goodbye to the local record store favorite, Schoolkids Records. Schoolkids announced that it would be closing in August due to financial constraints, and since then, the community has slowly grieved the former shop. Current owner Stephen Judge estimated that it opened around 1974. (Daily Tar Heel)
